Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 204 / Friday, October 23, 2009 / Notices
ADBF acquired the rail line as part of a
corporate restructuring, but did not file
its verified notice of exemption with the
Board until October 9, 2009.1 Thus, the
effective date of the exemption is
November 8, 2009 (30 days after the
exemption is filed).2
ADBF certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction do not exceed those that
would qualify it as a Class III carrier and
that its projected annual revenues will
not exceed $5 million.
According to ADBF, there is no
provision or agreement that may limit
future interchange with a third-party
connecting carrier.
Pursuant to the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law
110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007),
nothing in this decision authorizes the
following activities at any solid waste
rail transfer facility: collecting, storing
or transferring solid waste outside of its
original shipping container; or
separating or processing solid waste
(including baling, crushing, compacting
and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’
is defined in section 1004 of the Solid
Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903.
If the notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke does not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than November 2, 2009.
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35035, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
0001. In addition, a copy of each
pleading must be served on John D.
Heffner, 1750 K Street, NW., Suite 200,
Washington, DC 20006.

CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Decided: October 20, 2009.
1 ADBF states that eliminating TCBY as a rail
carrier through this acquisition will enable ADBF’s
owners to restructure their railroad holdings by
filing a class exemption notice for continuance in
control of three other disconnected short line
railroads they control. It appears that ADBF’s
owners presently are not authorized to have
common control of more than one rail carrier. If that
is the case, the Board expects the owners to
promptly submit an appropriate filing for
authorization for that common control.
2 The class exemption invoked by ADBF does not
provide for retroactive effectiveness.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Aircraft Noise Impacts Research
Roadmap
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of meeting participation.
SUMMARY: This notice advises interested
persons that the FAA is conducting
workshops to develop an aircraft noise
impacts research roadmap. The
roadmap is intended to advance our
scientific knowledge in order to
optimally address the impacts of aircraft
noise on society. The main objective of
the workshops is to outline key research
elements of the roadmap, prioritize
research questions, and identify ways to
overcome potential research challenges.
DATES: The first workshop will be held
in Washington, DC, on December 10 and
11, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A followon workshop will be held on March 4,
2010, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The first workshop will be
held at the National Academy of
Sciences Keck Center, 500 Fifth Street,
NW., Washington, DC. The follow-on
workshop will be held in conjunction
with the University of California-Davis
Symposium on Aviation Noise and Air
Quality and will be held at the Holiday
Inn-San Diego—On the Bay, 1355 North
Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101.
Attendance is open to all interested
parties.

Background: Based on the advice of
its Research, Engineering and
Development Advisory Committee
(REDAC), the FAA is developing a
comprehensive aircraft noise impacts
research roadmap for the FAA and other
interested parties to implement more
systematic, effective, and
complementary research programs. The

FAA held a preliminary forum with
international noise researchers in
conjunction with Internoise 2009 in
August 2009 to discuss research needed
to advance the current understanding of
the relationship between aircraft noise
and its impacts such as community
annoyance and sleep disturbance. The
FAA now invites researchers,
practitioners, and other interested
parties to participate in a series of
upcoming Aircraft Noise Impacts
Research Roadmap workshops to
contribute to developing the research
roadmap with information received
from that forum.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 19,
2009.
